additionally one can make use of the /scratch partition which is available on most of the nodes.

ZINC is visible through at /bks/raid6, so you don't have to copy db files over.

Crossmounts and shared UID/GID space

The following disks are exported from Cluster 2 and are visible on the QB3 shared cluster:

Read-only:

/nfs/db as /bks/db

Read/write:

/nfs/work as /bks/work

/nfs/store as /bks/store

/nfs/home as /bks/home

Please note that /nfs/soft and /nfs/scratch are NOT available on the QB3 shared cluster.

Installed software

Our software is installed under user jji on the QB3 cluster. You can copy .cshrc (.bashrc) from jji to get started.

Queuing jobs

The QB3 cluster uses the same queuing system as Cluster 2 and Cluster 0. However, the queuing systems are completely separate. To repeat, the disks are shared, but the jobs are managed completely separately. This is for clarity, and we think it is both easy to use and logical. If you believe it would work better another way, let us know!
